Some Mercedes have a rubber and metal disk at the front of the driveshaft
that is called a vibration dampener. Both my 230CE 4-speed and the donor
190E 5-speed have this. I need to have a drive shaft shortened for the
5-speed. The people that I talked to that will doing the work ...

Yes, I know, this topic has been done to death. But still...
What is the lowest temperature one can reasonably expect a 617 engine to
start given new glow plugs and an average battery?
Dropped to 10 F. here yesterday. It would not start. Called road

Well, as I vaguely surmised, the bolt in the lower alternator bracket
was broken off--deep inside the channel. I have therefore given up and
made an appointment at the shop to have this extracted.
I mention this only as a follow-up to the many earlier posts, and to

After not being driven in over one month, I took my 82 380SL for some
exercise. When I started the car, I heard a strange knocking sound
that seemed to be from under the hood. I switched it off and checked
around, but could not see anything unusual, so I tried starting again.

I put a can of Rislone in my 380sl a few days ago, and I now have oil

I'm looking to put a block heater on my 82 240D No love starting at 5F

(as splash lube decreases, crank air dries out). Lack of an obvious
leak on the valve cover or head gasket, and the uniform coating of oil
under the hood make it look like blow by but I got some conflicting

In the course of changing V-belts, I have discovered the apparent
absence of the lower bolt ("screw" according to the manual, as there
is no nut.) However, I do not have a parts list to determine the
specification of the item for replacement. Any help will be greatly

I have a short follow-up on the story I posted before. Basically the
'brake lining wear' warning is gone. I also noted 3 or 4 times the check
lamps' warning message and when I checked it indeed, a right stop bulb
did light. However later on it started working again, so it can not ...
